Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Alexander was startled and quickly looked away.

Wendy, thinking Alexander was worried about her condition, spoke up,"

Mr. Turner, don't worry about me. I'm good."

She gently pushed away Alexander's support and slowly walked towards the door.

"Let's get outta here," Wendy said, sounding a bit tired.

Alexander watched her back, feeling something soften inside him.

As Wendy stepped out of the hospital room, a cool breeze blew by. She pulled her coat tighter and headed towards the elevator.

It wasn't until she was seated in Alexander's black Bentley that she started to feel warm again.

"Thanks for driving me home," Wendy said.

Alexander glanced at her, "No need to thank me, really. It's no big deal."

Wendy looked at him, pressed her lips together, and said nothing more.

'Alexander really is a gentleman,' she thought.

Sarah, who had just finished her shift and was called to the HR office at Blue Ridge Medical Center, was trembling with anger.

She clutched the reprimand notice so tightly that her fingertips turned white.

Seeing the praise for Wendy in the department group chat, Sarah's

frustration and resentment grew like wild weeds.

Wendy was not only Harold's student but also secretly working as a social worker behind the Collins family's back.

Wendy was hiding so many secrets from them for so long.

The more Sarah thought about it, the angrier she got. She cursed Wendy in her mind, convinced that Wendy was doing it on purpose!

Ever since signing the divorce papers with Ethan, Wendy seemed likea different person, thriving in the hospital and constantly opposing her.

And now, she had to endure a public scolding from her boss,making her lose face.

Fuming. Sarah stormed out, looking like an enraged rooster, her anger threatening to consume her.

But as she reached the door, her gaze was magnetically drawn to Alexander and Wendy not far away.

In an instant, Sarah's eyes widened in disbelief.

That bitch Wendy had already hooked up with another man!

From where she stood, Sarah could only see a handsome man standing protectively by Wendy's side, but she couldn't make out who he was.

Sarah's mind raced, a sinister glint in her eyes.

Without thinking, she quickly pulled out her phone, sneaked a few steps closer, and snapped several photos of them.

Looking at the photos on her phone. Sarah's lips curled into a smug.

malicious smile.

If Wendy dared to humiliate her and,get her reprimanded, she would make Wendy pay dearly for it.

Even though she and Ethan were in the process of divorcing,the decree wasn't finalized yet, so they were still legally married.

She would not only make Wendy give up that villa but also ruin her reputation by exposing her affair.

With that thought, Sarah's smile widened, her eyes full of scheming.

Wendy's home was only about ten minutes away from Blue Ridge Medical Center.

She was about to thank Alexander and open the car door to get out.

"Ms.Knight!"

Alexander called out to her just then.

Wendy turned to look at him.

Alexander's deep eyes fixed on her, "Your health..."

"I'm fine, really. Thanks for asking."

"If you feel unwell, don't hesitate to call me. I live right next door,"Alexander said seriously.

"Next door?" Wendy was taken aback.

"Remember when I asked if you remembered the house next door?"Alexander asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, it's my family's house. I've moved back in," Alexander replied with a smile.

"That's your house? You moved back into that old place?" Wendy said.surprised.

Wendy didn't remember the neighbors well, but she recalled Billy mentioning that the family had indeed become quite successful.

She didn't expect it to be the Turner family.

But why would he leave a luxurious estateto live in such a rundown house?

"Yep," Alexander nodded, "The old house may be old, but it's cozy,the environment is nice, and it's close to both the hospital and my office."

That made sense.

Wendy sighed in relief, "Well, you should get some rest. Goodbye."

With that, she got out of the car.

Alexander watched her until she entered her house before driving to the house next door.

Meanwhile, Sarah rushed home, her excitement barely contained.

Ethan and Lydia were in the living room, chatting with Juniper.

As soon as she walked in, she eagerly held up her phone.

"Ethan! Guess what I saw today!"

Sarah shoved the phone in Ethan's face, "Look for yourself!"

On the screen was a photo of a man protectively standing next to Wendy,the two of them almost touching. The angle made them look very intimate.

Ethan's hand gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.

His face darkened, suppressing the anger rising within him,feeling as if something that belonged to him had been taken away.

Sarah, oblivious to Ethan's reaction, was thrilled,"Ethan,you and Wendy haven't finalized your divorce yet, and she's already out there with another man. You need to get that villa back!"

Seeing Ethan remain silent, Juniper stepped forward,"Ethan,our family may be wealthy now, but we can't let people make a fool of us. I know you're soft-hearted and don't want to make things difficult for her after all these years, but Sarah saw it today. Wendy must have been cheating on you for a long time. Why hold onto old feelings?"

Juniper gave Lydia a look, signaling her to persuade him as well.

Lydia bit her lip, thinking, 'Could Ethan's reaction to the photo mean he still has feelings for Wendy?'

She had worked hard to get close to him and couldn't let Wendy ruin her plans.

She stepped forward and softly said, "Ethan, could it be that Ms. Knight has been cheating on you all along?"
